This quote illustrates this:«but they have more concerns about bottom lines than waistlines.»


I live in an ag market area and lately the local radio station has been playing an ad for a company associated with the potato industry. The people in the ad discuss how Atkins is just a fad and the potato farmers shouldn't worry. However, the part that really threw me was when the "announcer" in the ad ends by saying "This is Soandso signing off. And remeber to always super-size."

You MIGHT be able to argue the benefits of eating potatos but I don't think ANYONE could argue that eating deep-fried transfat-laden anything is even remotely good for you. Basically he was saying "I don't give a rip if you die of a heart attack - just do it with our product".
